What do you live to do?

i like trying to present information to people that they hadn't thought of in ways that force them to question basic assumptions.

i think this is why i went into teaching, and specifically english.

i realized pretty early on that the rules that govern society are mostly arbitrary. 

i may not be able to fix what's wrong with society, but at least i can wake people up to the idea that things don't have to be the way they are. 

also tacos.

I don't know man, maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about, but I'd think teaching subjects like philosophy, history, government, political science, anthropology, etc would better serve those goals than teaching English.

Honestly, I started in history. I found I was more able to broach philosophical topics within the context of English, but I could also use practical skills like writing as a hook. Philosophy might have been the best fit for me personally, but the type of person who would sign up for a philosophy class wouldn’t really need what I was selling. Everyone has to take English.

i feel like im in limbo between what i can figure out about the possibilities of life and what i am capable of,

and im satisfied knowing its at least important enough to consider on one level. 

also, that this question is in my life helps me imagine it, because i am met with all i need to survive right now without success

i think purpose comes with satisfaction.  if you are capable and want to do it and have success or gain in it, its purpose enough to live for.
